TV Tonight: Sun., Feb. 26, 2012

Category: TV,What's On Tonightvelveetahead @ 12:04 pm

I usually watch The Oscars, but this year the Best Movie list is ridiculous. I usually want to see the movies on the list, but they don’t interest me at all. I think I’m going to skip the awards since I just don’t care who wins. There isn’t much else that is on that is new tonight, but I’ll be watching something else instead.

TV: Week of February 26, 2012

Pick of the Week

Lucius Malfoy from Harry Potter is in a new NBC series debuting this week. I thought it was the best sounding new show of all the shows that debuted last Fall, but we had to wait until this week for it to debut. A detective is in a car crash with his wife and son. His wife survives in one reality, but when he goes asleep, he wakes up to another reality where only his son survived. He doesn’t know which one is a dream or if they are both dreams and he’s making it all up.

Time: 10/9c

Amazing Race: Lies & Blindness

Category: Amazing Race,Recaps,TVvelveetahead @ 10:23 pm

While we were introduced to the teams on the race, the golf twin sisters stated that people were going to underestimate them, which is what half the all girl teams say when they come on the Amazing Race. They also said there would be no crying. Well, when they became blind while trying to find Phil, even though he was right in front of them, they started to cry when they realized their stupidity. Thus, leading to an episode of lies and blindness.

TV Tonight: Mon., Feb. 20, 2012

Category: TV,Upcomingvelveetahead @ 2:27 pm

It was recently officially announced that this will be the final season of House. I think after the mess the show became at the end of last season, I’m glad that it is finally ending. Tonight, a hospitalized marriage counselor shows behavior that contradicts his motivational message on gender roles. Meanwhile, House and his green-card Ukrainian “wife” try to show immigration officials that they’re a happily married couple. House also decides to name a new team leader.

TV: Week of February 19, 2012

Category: TV,Upcomingvelveetahead @ 12:30 pm

For a holiday weekend, there are a ton of shows premiering. All of the ones listed below start tonight with the exception of Being Human which will air on Supernatural Saturdays on BBC America.

Pick of the Week

The Amazing Race is back for its 20th season. A season is really only as entertaining as the cast so I start each season hoping for some truly entertaining people. There seems to be some drama with a couple from Big Brother. I guess they are not well loved. Since I don’t watch that show, I have no idea who they are, so I guess I’ll see if I get annoyed with them as others seem to already be.

TV: Week of February 12, 2012

Category: TV,Upcomingvelveetahead @ 4:47 pm

Pick of the Week

Yes, Cougar Town has a horrible name and they will probably never change it, but it is a funny show. If you are a fan of Scrubs or Bill Lawrence (creator of both Scrubs and Cougar Town), then you should give the show a try. You can jump right in and figure out what’s going on. What started out as a show where an older woman dated some twentysomething guys after her divorce has turned into an ensemble show where a bunch of friends sit around, drinking wine and causing havoc. Don’t you want to watch a show about that?

Cougar Town

Cougar Town
Channel: ABC
Time: 8:30/7:30c
Starring: Courteney Cox, Josh Hopkins, Brian Van Holt, Christa Miller, Dan Byrd, Ian Gomez

TV: Week of February 5

Category: TV,Upcomingvelveetahead @ 10:58 am

Pick of the Week

The River looks super scary and for critics that have previewed the first few episodes, it continues to get scarier. It is from the producers of Paranormal Activity about a wildlife documentarian who disappears while filming on the Amazon. His family goes searching for him and finds his footage. They are also filming their entire adventure so there is a lot of scary camera work and also the cameras being set up to capture things they don’t see when they are awake. I shouldn’t fall for these kind of scares, but I do so I want to watch it. I would not recommend it for Amy though.

The River

The River
Channel: ABC
Time: 9/8c
Starring: Leslie Hope, Joe Anderson, Paul Blackthorne, Bruce Greenwood, Shaun Parkes, Daniel Zacapa, Thomas Kretschmann, Eloise Mumford

Top Chef: Boring Chicken Salad

Category: Recaps,Top Chef,TVvelveetahead @ 5:49 pm

Tom essentially told Grayson that chicken salad sandwich was too boring and wasn’t sure why she chose to make it for the block party. Grayson countered saying that it wasn’t any less boring than making meatballs. Tom usually has the last word to say if any chef challenges him at Judges’ Table, but he just started to laugh since I think he agreed with her at that point.

Top Chef: The Evil Queen

Category: Recaps,Top Chef,TVvelveetahead @ 4:10 pm

Top Chef has always been crazy about its product placement and this episode was no different with the elimination challenge a product placement for a movie. The main guest star was Charlize Theron who was there to promote her movie, Snow White and the Huntsmen. Even though the promotional stuff is annoying, at least they did something interesting with it for the elimination challenge.
